The document discusses using indicators from the Social Progress Index to measure progress toward achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It provides examples of indicators that relate to specific SDGs, such as indicators of nutrition and medical care that are relevant to SDG 2 (zero hunger) and SDG 3 (good health and well-being). The document also outlines a strategy for developing a "Kopavogur-SDG Index" to quantitatively track performance on SDG targets using standardized indicators from frameworks like the ISO 37120 standard.
